I know man, these hedgefund managers and Boeing executives have been totally infantilized!


I'm clearly talking about the 18-year-olds referenced in the post I'm replying to. But good job I suppose?


I am just pointing out that there is a range of people trying to absolve themselves of responsibility, and I am not clear what leads folks to conclude that 18-year are the problem.

When COVID/2008 hits the fan, its the young people on zero hour contract that loose their income first, landlords might loose some, and banks loose least.

If anything our system is setup so that the higher you are, the less consequences you face. I believe this is the new phenomenon and its not helped by 'kids these days, back in my day...'.


New phenomenon? You should read some history books! It’s never not been like this, it’s almost always been worse: thousands of years of those at the bottom losing everything while those at the top, if not getting assassinated in power struggles, get all the payoffs. As bad as it is today, it was almost always much worse in the past.
